Elegant Bazaar is Feb. 16

A group of black business owners will showcase their products and services during a Black History Month Elegant Bazaar.

The event will run from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 16, at Great Lakes Crossroad, 234 S. Water in downtown Saginaw.

Dorothy Allen and Anganetta Ervin are the organizers. Allen co-owns Great Lakes Crossroad with her husband, Abraham Allen. More than 14 vendors will participate.

"We want to introduce Saginaw to some of the home-based businesses we have in our community," said Ervin, who works for AT&T and also sells affordable art. "Black entrepreneurship is alive in Saginaw. We want people to come out to see what they have to offer."

Vendors will display and sell artwork, jewelry, custom-made clothing, make-up, perfume and food, and offer information from various service providers, Allen said.
